HR Assistant Agent

Your HR lead answers the same eight questions every week, and each one lands as a DM at the worst possible moment. This assistant sits in Slack, answers policy questions from the Notion pages you point it at, and always links the page it read so nobody has to take its word for it. Anything about a specific person, their pay, a complaint, a contract, their health, it refuses on purpose and sends them to a human.

What people use it for

• Kill the repeat HR questions - Holiday rules, notice periods, expense limits, and benefits questions get answered in thread the moment they are asked. That is most of an HR inbox, handled without anyone being interrupted.
• Onboarding without hand-holding - New joiners ask the assistant instead of guessing or interrupting their manager, and get the same answer off the same handbook page every time.
• Leave and remote work requests - Questions about sick leave, working from another country, or notice periods are answered from your written process, so people follow it instead of inventing their own version.
• Find the gaps in your handbook - Every answer cites the page it came from, so a wrong answer points straight at the page that needs fixing, and every refusal tells you a policy you have never written down.

Before you fork

What does it need connected?

Slack, so it can be mentioned and reply in thread, and Notion, so it can read your policies. It only reads Notion, it cannot create or edit pages. You name the pages or databases it may use, and it does not wander outside them.

Could it leak someone's private information?

Two things stop it. Keep individual records, salary bands, and performance docs out of the Notion space you point it at, so the data is simply not reachable. On top of that its instructions refuse every personal question outright, including pay, complaints, contracts, and anything medical, and route the person to your HR contact instead of answering.

What happens when the handbook does not cover something?

It says so, tells the person what it checked, and names your HR contact. It never fills a gap with what is normal at other companies, which is the failure mode that makes an HR bot genuinely dangerous. Those refusals are also the best list you will get of what to write down next.
